Here’s The Skinny on Asparagus..., 2009

Abstract

Three seasons pass before asparagus can be harvested. In its first season of growth a crown
forms with six inches of root. In the second season the crown grows a fern. Asparagus can
be harvested in its third year, and reaches its prime after 6-8 years. This brochure produced by The Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.
